An NaCl solution is prepared by dissolving 20.0 g NaCl in 150.0 g of water at 25°C. What is the vapor pressure of the solution if the vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.56 torr? Group of answer choices

Vapor pressure for the solution is 21.70 Torr

Explanation:

Vapor pressure lowering → Colligative property

P° = Vapor pressure of pure solvent

P' = Vapor pressure of solution

Xm = Mole fraction of solute → Moles of solute / Total moles

Total moles = Moles of solute + moles of solvent

Formula = P° - P' = P° . Xm . i

Let's determine the moles of solute and solvent

20 g  / 58.45 g/mol = 0.342 moles NaCl

150 g / 18 g/mol = 8.333 moles H₂O

Total moles → 8.333 + 0.342 = 8.675 moles

Mole fraction of solute = 0.342 / 8.675 = 0.039

i → NaCl ⇒ Na⁺ + Cl⁻   i = 2 (Van't Hoff factor, number of ions dissolved)

Let's replace the data, that was obtained from the problem.

23.56 Torr - P' = 23.56 Torr . 0.039 . 2

P' = - (23.56 Torr . 0.039 . 2 - 23.56 Torr) → 21.70 Torr

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
